/**
 * Array holds static helper functions that allow you to create and
 * manipulate arrays by reflection. Operations know how to perform widening
 * conversions, but throw {@link IllegalArgumentException} if you attempt
 * a narrowing conversion. Also, when accessing primitive arrays, this
 * class performs object wrapping and unwrapping as necessary.<p>
 *
 * <B>Note:</B> This class returns and accepts types as Classes, even
 * primitive types; there are Class types defined that represent each
 * different primitive type.  They are <code>java.lang.Boolean.TYPE,
 * java.lang.Byte.TYPE,</code>, also available as <code>boolean.class,
 * byte.class</code>, etc.  These are not to be confused with the
 * classes <code>java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte</code>, etc., which are
 * real classes. Note also that the shorthand <code>Object[].class</code>
 * is a convenient way to get array Classes.<p>
 *
 * <B>Performance note:</B> This class performs best when it does not have
 * to convert primitive types.  The further along the chain it has to convert,
 * the worse performance will be.  You're best off using the array as whatever
 * type it already is, and then converting the result.  You will do even
 * worse if you do this and use the generic set() function.
